So Amr is here tonight. Amr, how are we doing on this Wednesday?
SPEAKER_01:Man, I'm telling you, it's uh it's been a crazy week. Uh, I'm looking forward to going to Pittsburgh this weekend for the game. Uh, still think I'm recovering from the ups and downs and heart attacks I was given on Sunday. Uh, minus that, you know, just living the dream, man. Winter is slowly coming here, so I can't complain. How are you doing?
SPEAKER_02:I'm doing great. I am doing great. I have recovered fully from the bat uh the brewers. I've recovered from that. Um watching Badger football has made me realize there's worse things in this world than the Brewers right now. So watching that made it, you know, and then the Packers won. So that was good, right? The Packers ended my weekend with at least something good. If the Packers would have lost, I think I would have lost my mind. I think the whole thing would have just it would have just gone sideways on me all at once. This show would have just been one straight therapy session, and that's about it. So, anyways, anyways, we watched that Packer game, and it was I mean, let's just start there. That that win against the Cardinals. I think it spoke a lot to me to saying that this team won a gut wrench, like this was a gut check. This was a gut check win. You had to go into it's not like a hostile environment, should I say, but it was, I mean, a game where the the chips weren't I I I'm at a loss for words here right now. It was in Glendale. Let's go with that. It was in Glendale. It was a game where you weren't you were expected to win, but everybody thought it could be close. And now you come out of it, you win it by four. It was late in the game that you finally took control of it and won it. It took a miracle field goal to do it. There's a lot of things that went your direction in this one. After this game, are we feeling good about this team? Where are you at when you think about the Green Bay Packers right now? Are you feeling good about was it a win that made you feel good, or was it a what was it, a gut check win? Like, what were your thoughts on this win?
SPEAKER_01:I felt like this win was it was a win's a win. I remember going into this game just saying, I don't care what happens, as long as they win, it's all I'm happy. And I know like we have been winning pretty, but we're still winning. So a part of me is like you shouldn't take for that for granted. I know sometimes that Bengals win was where we were like, oh, it was so underwhelming, we should have done so much better. But you know, when end of the day, look what they just did to the Steelers. And clearly the Bengals team with a confident quarterback is a lot more dangerous than you know what they were without without Joe Flacco, right? So a part of me looks at the way this game started out with there being a six-hour delay for them to even get into Arizona, they didn't get until like I think the guy in the eight or nine o'clock, which really is like uh I want to say midnight for them and and Wisconsin. So all that was messed up. They didn't know if Jacobs was gonna play. Jacobs gets cleared, but they want to limit him. He was beefing with the coaches because he's like, uh, when I had the last time I had something like this, I went for I had the career game against Seattle for 300 yards and he went off on them. So with the strain calf and the illness, and then on top of that, like when it just came to like the way the offense was, like you could just felt as a little herky jerky defensively. You know, we were getting gashed, but then we were it was weird, we were making plays, but then also getting gashed, and all in all, like you're saying, gut check when part of me was like, you know what, they figured out a way to win this game against a team who, even though the Cardos, what now two and five, they have all five losses have been in succession, and they've all been in total combined points of what like 14? Something crazy. So they've lost all close games, and they basically came back against the six and one Colts and almost beat them at home. And I'm sorry, it beat them in Indianapolis. So for me, like I just take this game as like you know what, a win's a win, and it's a good way to go into this week with everything that's gonna be coming with this week. As much as you want to make it a regular week, we all know that it means a lot more to the fans, probably to the quarterback on the other team. And all in all, it was a good way to go in. And I'm I don't know, like I'm not unhappy, but I was definitely unhappy during the game. But I'm like, all right, I'm good now, and we got a win, so I'm I'm gonna shut up.
SPEAKER_02:A win's a win, and like you, like we were just talking there, it's that it's that gut check win to show the fight that they had in that game, I guess is the big thing. Go against the adversary because 10 penalties for 94 yards. Not great. That was not a great effort once again. They had everything that could possibly go in the opposite direction, seemed to be going the opposite direction at times. I thought Matt LaFleur had two moments in this game where I was like, okay, maybe you're starting to learn from your past. And the first half with seven seconds, he just said, Go get it. And he had a deep ball shot to Romeo Dobbs across the middle, put her down, called the timeout, brought his field goal kicker out, which I was still like, oh no, like don't get blocked, don't have this great return. Nothing could take it back. Like I was just like, everything could go wrong here, and then he nailed it, and it was awesome. 61 yarded, that was awesome. That was absolutely awesome, especially as a backup, like not even the main guy. That was awesome to see. So you had that, and then at the end of the game, Matt LaFleur, fourth and two. I was so ready for the field goal. I was so ready for the field goal. He was pissed, I was pissed on the field, and I was like, okay, what are they gonna try to do? Get him to jump off sides, like what it is. And I doubt it's here, and then he went for it, and he had the touch, the great pass, the craft, where I got a little scared. I'm like, please tell me he hauled that just inbounds. He wasn't bobbling it right. I was like, please tell me he didn't bobble it while going out of bounds because that's gonna be their luck right now. Like that's but Matt LaForque, he was getting a lot of heat after this game, and then he's been getting a lot of heat. He got a lot of heat from me for weeks now, months, years. I don't even know. It's been years now since I've stopped. You know, I've given him heat this whole time because of his play calling, because of his lackluster play calling at times. I thought again, I the play calling was a little suspect. There was like a third and one where he just again, I don't know why we decide to go. We need to run this end around on a third and one. We need to try to get it to the sideline and go up. And it's like, I forgot that we had Josh Jacobs on this team. Do we not trust Josh Jacobs to get us one yard? Yes, seriously. Go straight ahead, just go get it. I don't understand why we got to get crazy with it. But they do that again. So the play calling again at that moment, I was like, oh man, I'm gonna be talking about my sweet call.
SPEAKER_03:I was like, oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_02:Yes, just the just the silly play calling. And then all of a sudden they go, Oh, never mind. We'll just go for this fourth and two and everything like that. But I still feel like, and I guess this is where I want to go with the play calling topic, I still feel like they're trying to run the ball too much. And if they're going to try to run the ball, then they need to just run the ball. There, they I feel like with the weapons that they have, Josh Jacobs, we I love Josh Jacobs, he's a great running back, you got to utilize him a little bit. But 70-30 is where I'm at. 70% pass, 30% run. Unless if you're in an environment where the secondary is just that good or it's maybe that rainy where you can't throw the ball well or catch the ball well, okay, I can get those games. That's where you utilize a guy like Josh Jacobs. But in these kinds of games, I felt like your passing game could have ate him alive. And I feel like Jordan Love's got the ability to eat a defensive live, but you have to let him do it. So I guess where are you at right now with the play calling of Matt LaFleur? You still kind of are you still because I'm in the boat of I still am kind of eh about his play calling. Like I know he can do it. I know he's a good play caller, I know he's a great play caller at times. I just think he overthinks the game at times. So I think he tries to do too much and try to get everybody involved when he just needs to work with what he's got. What are your thoughts on the play calling with Matt LaFleur?
SPEAKER_01:If you heard Kurt Benker, he's told me that he needs to give up play calling, which I thought was hilarious. And that guy, he has like the biggest bone to pick with the floor that I just don't, I just don't care. Like, what did he like? Dang, like I know he like cut you and he didn't like probably some of your opinions, but dang, like you holding a grudge, like I wouldn't believe. I agree with you where some of the play calling is suspect, but I think again, like sometimes they get just a little too cute, yeah. Yeah, and I think that does frustrate me. And then sometimes I feel like when they do there's certain certain plays I'll see, and it's like he's going back into his bag from like 2023 and 2024. Like, you know, and I'm just like, bro, like can you like not to say you can't think of something new, but like you're really going back to old tricks, right? And it's like, I don't know, like a part of me is sometimes I wonder when it comes to the route running, is it is it as pristine as it needs to be? Because like I remember that one play, it was like third and it was third and I want to say it was third and five, and they do like uh they had trips to their left, and he he he he hikes it and Dusty, someone put a clip of it, and they're like Jordan says hike, he's like, What the hell is this? Right, he doesn't and then he basically throws it to Dobbs across the middle, and there's a safety that almost like picks it off, right? Yep, and then they go for on fourth and one and he misses Dobbs by an inch for that touchdown, right? And I don't know if like this is like you know how we're always saying like September and October, like our preseason, right? We're just trying to get right in these games, like we're trying to figure stuff out. A little bit of that, and I just think he just sometimes gets in his own way sometimes when it comes to his play con, if that makes sense. Like he just sometimes is trying to do too much cute stuff, trying to either establish the run, or he or he's trying to be either uberly aggressive or he's being uberly conservative, and it's like, hey, just let it flow. And he used to be very analytically based, and now he's very much like gut, he goes by his gut, is what he says. And I think he needs to go back to be a little more analytically based because sometimes some of the decision making just drives me crazy.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, know the situation, it's knowing the situation and what's gonna work there, and sometimes it's going back to old style football, smash mouth football, where it's like a third and one. Bring me in the big package, bring me in Josh Jacobs, go straight ahead, put Jordan Love underneath the center, hand it off Josh Jacobs with a full head of steam coming downhill, and I trust him to get a yard. Like that's that's where it should be at with a guy like Josh Jacobs in your backfield. There should be no question, but yeah, we still have this where, well, let's give it to uh like Matthew Golden or you know, when Jaden Reed's healthy, let's give it to Jaden Reed and send him around the end and see what happens. Well, what do you think the defense is gonna do? They're just gonna slowly push you and push you to the sideline until you're out of room, and then you got to cut back. Well, there's your guy. So, I mean, it's just it's those plays where I look at it and I'm like, Matt, uh, like this is what this is what makes you questionable. This is what makes you questionable as a head coach and as a play caller right now, is when you do things like this. And I was glad, and that's what I said was finally in this game on that fourth and two. He just said, Let's do it. I trust my guy, I got this feeling, let's go get it. And that's where you wanted to see him get to finally, and he did it. And same with that end of the first half. We've seen it many times. We're even with a minute left to go, they'll put the knee down, they'll say, We're done. Maybe hand the ball off once and then be done. Yeah, he said, nah, let's seven seconds, let's see what we can do. Chuck the balls across the middle, bam, we got a timeout, let's burn it. There we go. We're in not even real field goal range, but we're in field goal range. Let's hit it. And bam, there was I love that tenacity, that go get it attitude that he had in that Cardinals game. Now, was it the most you know, perfect game that we've ever seen out of the Green Bay Packers? No, we haven't seen, I don't think we've seen a perfect game out of the Green, well, not a perfect, but a like a complete game out of the Green Bay Packers in years. I don't think we've seen it in years, but maybe we'll get there. Maybe we'll get there. So I have a question, and I kind of want to we'll talk about it a little bit here, but I want to get everybody's take on this one. So let me know what you guys think of this question. 715-990-4914. That is 715-990-4914. Let me know what you guys think about this opinion. Well, are of our opinions of this, but I want to hear your thoughts on the question. Is this Packers team good? Are they really good? Or are they are they really good? Because right now we're seeing them as the number one team in the NFC. They have the only team with one loss. They have one tie, right? Silly tie, but they have one loss. They're the only team left like that. They're the number one team in the NFC. Are they a really good one-loss team? A really good number one team right now, or or are they an average team who's been subject to some games and some the schedule kind of pointing in their direction? Where is this team at right now? Because they've had some things go right, but like we're saying, we haven't seen this team play really good yet. We haven't seen this team take that next step.
SPEAKER_03:Right.
SPEAKER_02:So is this team really good? Are they a Super Bowl caliber team like we thought they were gonna be, or are they just an average team that's playing above average at the very moment? What do you guys think? We'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on that one. What are your thoughts on this Packers team? Are they really good? Are we being too hard on the Packers and maybe they're gonna get that to that threshold? Where are your thoughts on this team? We love to hear them. We're gonna come back from the break. We're gonna answer that question for you guys. Is this team actually good? And it just hasn't gotten it going yet? Or put it all together, or are they just an average team playing some bad competition right now? Let me know your answer to that question. 715-990-4914. That is 715-990-4914. We're gonna answer it when we come back from the break. We'll be back here on Winston Wisconsin Sports on the Go with Trage. I'm your host, Trage, as we come back here on this Wednesday. And hey, this next segment, we're gonna continue that Packer talk, that question that I had for you guys, we're gonna answer that and we're gonna get to a little bit of NFL. This next segment is brought to you by Marshfield Motor Speedway, the half mile paved track, just three miles west of Marshfield on County Road H. Find upcoming events and races at marshfieldspeedway.com. That is marshfieldmotorspeedway.com there. So, Amer, we went to the break. I asked a question and I wanted to hear your guys' opinion on this one. Hit me up, 715-990-4914. That is 715-990-4914. Is this team, this Packers team, actually good and they just haven't gotten it going yet? Or they just haven't put it all together, or are they just an average team playing some bad competition right now? This is a question I can't is I might have seen though. Michaels might have asked the question, and I just I saw it and I was like, I kind of want to answer that question here on the show tonight because it was a good question. It was it's a very good question because right now, when you look at this Packers team, you could say the secondaries, they got their issues. You could say the offense, they haven't fully reached their potential yet. You could say the defense as a whole has had its problems. So you could say this whole team as a whole right now has had its problems. So what do you think, Ummer? Has this team is this a good team that just hasn't reached its full potential yet? Or is this just uh an average team, some good players? Maybe they're just average. Like, where are you at right now with this team? Because I mean, we're we're what five, six games in. You don't really know. The book is still unwritten on what the rest of the season is gonna entail for the Green Bay Packers. So, what are your thoughts right now on the Packers? Are they are they a really good team, just haven't reached that potential, or are they an average team that's this is about what we're gonna get?
SPEAKER_01:I think they're a good enough team to win the Super Bowl. I just think that when I look at the way they're having a lot of inconsistencies on offense, on defense, on special teams, it reminds me a lot of the Philadelphia Eagles last year. The Eagles last year didn't look that good for the majority of the year. They had their moments, right? But then they had some times where it looked kind of like subpar. Even this year they don't look that great either, and they're squeaking by on some things too. So I think for me, right now, I think they're still trying to get a little bit of trying to figure out what their identity is. Are they a pass first team? Are they a run first team? Are they a defense-oriented team? You know, in the first two, three weeks, you kind of felt like they were an uh offense team driven by their defense, and then that kind of fell apart. And so now you're trying to like maybe they're trying to figure out exactly what the best course of action is. Like, do we put more on Jordan Love's uh table? Do we take some off? Do we do we trust the offensive line? Because I mean, even in that Arizona game, I saw Calias Campbell literally steal the soul of Jordan Morgan at right guard. It was disgusting. Like there was a play where he literally knocked him back like five yards to the point where Jordan Morgan almost tackled Eric Wilson in the backfield. It was and then Wilson was able to still get a like beat the beat the whole broke up play and get six yards, which was very impressive. But I'm sorry, like that offense line is still not where it needs to be. Um I I think I still think they're a Super Bowl team. I think like the record is it speaks for itself. You you can't help like last year. I felt like they got lucky a lot with a lot of injuries and things like that. This year, I think the same thing is happening, but again, you it's the NFL. You can't help who you play when you play them, right? And so because of that, you just have to take the wins for what they are, you have to take the L's for what they are, you have to take the ties for what they are, right? And I mean, look at the Cowboys right now. I mean, the Cowboys are like they're hearing their stride. I mean, they'll they're looking pretty good, right? Yeah, um, and you know, I just feel like we are we're kind of like where we are right now, we're like a little bit stuck in the mud, but we're slowly trying to figure it out. Um, and I feel like that that was kind of shown in this game at the end of the game where when everything's on the line, the floor trusted his quarterback, he trusted his playmakers to get the job done. And I feel like on defense, same thing. Like, you know, Parsons woke up on that final drive. And if it wasn't for him, I mean he literally was a reason why we secured a victory in that game.
SPEAKER_02:No, I would agree. I would agree 100%. I think it's a big thing for me is the secondary for the Packers. I think that's what holds him back a little bit right now for me, because I I don't think the secondary knows where the ball is half the time. So, how are you supposed to force turnovers when you don't know where the ball is? Nate Hobbs is lost out there.
SPEAKER_01:Bro, he's he he's killing me right now.
SPEAKER_02:The only guy who I believe maybe might know where they are is Xavier McKinney, and he still looks like he's throwing for a loop at times. Um, outside of that, I mean they have uh Carrington Valentine just needs to be a starter. I Nate Hobbs just needs to be on the second string. I don't know why Carrington Valentine is still sitting behind him, he needs to be out there more. Yeah, the but like Umber's pointing out, the big money problem there. I would completely agree. Karen St. Valentine needs to be ahead of him. Um but secondary looks pedestrian, and that's that's something that I think is gonna hold him back. And I think it might be it might be the thing that keeps him from a Super Bowl. It really is. I really think when you face a Matthew Stafford and a Rams team or something like that, you have a good quarterback that can exploit a secondary with good protection up front. Micah Parsons can't get home every time, right? That's hope because he gets home every time when he's not gonna be able to. They're just getting the ball out fast, and the secondary doesn't know where they are. So I think that's a problem for me. Um offensively, I just think it's the offensive line finding some consistency. I really do. It's finding consistency, and I think that's gonna come with getting healthy, getting guys on the field and being healthy, and you know, the this it's a long season. It's not it's a marathon. It's gonna be a long season here. I mean, it's it's getting guys healthy, getting them back, not rushing them back either. There's no reason why we rush guys back. Get them back when you get them back, and then take care of it when you get there. I think that's that's the big key for this team. I think that they're I don't think they're great. I don't think they're ever gonna be great because I just mentioned a few things that I think hold them back from being great. I think they're a good team, like you said, that can win the Super Bowl. I think they need a lot of things to go right, but I think they have a lot of things they got to clean up along the way. And I think Matt LaFleur's got to get out of his own way to do that. And I think that's that's the big it's the secondary in Matt LaFleur for me. It really is because Matt LaFleur needs to get out of his own way and just call plays. And you know, if it is by his gut, call plays that make sense. Look at go common sense offense, right? Third and one. I have Josh Jacobs. What should I do? Well, common sense tells me let him run it straight ahead. Or do Tucker Kraft. Go Tucker Kraft's quarterback sneak. Like just trust your guys. That's the thing. Trust your guys. That's what he did on fourth and two. He just trusted Jordan Love to go get him that first down, and that's what he did. That's what I think Matt LaFleur needs to do a lot more of is just trust your guys. You brought in a bunch of stars, trust them to go get it. Josh Jacobs, trust him to go get you a first down. If you can't trust Josh Jacobs to get you a third and one first down, you need to go find a new running back.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Because if that's the case, then you don't have the right running backs in the room. You don't you don't trust your offensive line then at all. You don't trust any of that because you should trust your offensive line enough that they can get you a push to get you one yard. If you don't trust them enough for that, I you need to go get some new guys. And that's that's a big whole nother can of worms you know you want to open. But that secondary is just the thing that holds me back when I think about this team. It really is because even a guy like Jacoby Brissett, who I love Jacoby Brissett, I love his resilience. He's been in the league for a while, he's battled through adversity, he's been at multiple teams, he's battled his way onto rosters. I love that about him. But he's not like he's you know a Matthew Stafford or a Jared Goff for anybody like this. So if you're having troubles with Jacoby Brissett, you're gonna have a lot of problems, even with a guy like Carson Wentz and the Vikings, because he's got a lot more weaponry on the Vikings than I mean Marvin Harrison's fantastic, don't get me wrong. Fantastic. And that tight end, uh, what the heck is that?
SPEAKER_03:McBride, Trey McBride, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, he's fantastic. Like they have fantastic weapons, but they're not like the Vikings. They're not like if the Eagles ever get you know everything sorted out with what they got going on up there in Philly, that's a whole nother story. But I mean, yeah, so I guess um, just looking forward here to the Steelers game. Any thoughts that you're having on the Steelers? I mean, we know Aaron Rodgers, it's the homecoming. He gets to play against the old Packers, you know it's gonna have that kind of juice to it. Matt LaFleur and Rogers, you don't know how that relationship is. Maybe they have some turmoil. Maybe Matt LaFleur's looking at this game like uh I gotta beat the brakes off of this guy kind of too. So, I mean, it could be one of those. I mean, what are your thoughts on this upcoming game with the Steelers here? It's gonna be the what is that? Is it a Sunday night game? Sunday night, right?
SPEAKER_01:Sunday night, yeah. I'll be there. I'll be at the game.
SPEAKER_02:So Amr is there. That's what on the ground, boots on the ground, they say for that one there. So Amr, I mean, thoughts on that one. You're heading to the game, thoughts on it. What you want to see, what the Packers got to do to win this one.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, we have to find a way to Aaron Rodgers right now is playing at a pretty amazing clip. He's getting the ball out within less than 2.5 seconds, which has been literally our Achilles heel lately when it comes to playing offenses, getting the ball out quick and just dinking and dunking on us, right? So we have to find a way to get pressure. We need to have our that secondary that you're busting up on, which I think you're completely right about. I feel like Nate Hobbs was brought in to be a uh slot guy, but Javon Bullard has been playing amazing at slot, so you have to pay for him, you're paying for this dude, and he's not a boundary corner, he has never been a good boundary corner, and that's showing. And I feel like we have some, you know, DK Metcalf is a pretty pretty physical specimen of a player, and having a quarterback like Rogers distributing the ball to him is a scary thought. Then on top of that, too, they have a lot of young young guys across the wide receiver core over there, too. You know, they got Roman Wilson, they have um uh Calvin Austin, and on top they have a lot of speed on that all on that offense to include, you know, a big guy than the Mercedes 2.0 and Darnell Washington, and of course Pat Farrmouth, Penn State uh tight end that's just uberly talented. I just feel like the Steelers' offense with LaRoggers back there can be really good. But again, they did show some weaknesses when they played against the Pengles. The Pengles defense is nowhere close as good as ours. And with all the juice that's gonna be in this game, I mean, I already know the Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers relationship is great. It's nowhere close to what Fargs and Rodgers was when they played against each other in 2009, right? It's not even close to that, right? And so for me, I think like you're right, you're gonna have a lot of juice when it comes to the floor and Rodgers. And I think the Packers, the only team the Rodgers is not being. So he's gonna have that kind of like, you know, whenever that man's motivated, it's like the worst thing that you can have going for you, right? Um, I just feel like this is gonna be a two a really good test for our defense to really see if they can somehow disrupt Rogers' rhythm and ability to get the ball up quick and force him to try to play, you know, how he played with us in 2022, you know, running around, trying to make play, trying to do street ball and stuff like that, hero ball. We need that Rogers to come on in this game.
SPEAKER_02:You can't let DK Metcalf burn you. Nope. That's it. That's the big thing. Avoid the big hitter. If you if Rogers can get hot with the big hitters, you you're in for a long night with his secondary. So you gotta be able to control, you gotta be able to control the big play in this one. That's where I think it's gonna come down to a lot in this one, is the big play. Rogers is a finesse guy, you gotta watch out for that, but he's not reckless, and that's the thing. You thought you had problems with turnover thing. Rodgers generally he's he's had his moments over the past year.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, he's even this season, he has, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, like he's getting a little more crazy with it, but if Rodgers has that determination in him, yeah, like we know that he can turn it on as Packer fans, we've seen it. He gets very finesse and very careful and cautious and doesn't force things. So you gotta be you gotta be mindful of that. It's we hard to force turnovers, but if you can get some pressure on him, make to make him make some some mistakes, it is possible. The secondary has got to play good, though. They have to, they have to play good in this game. So I guess there, there you go. There's our thoughts on the Steelers game coming up. But let's roll into we got a quick little little thing to do. Here we're gonna roll our power rankings because Kyle usually does the power rankings, but we got NBA starting now, so Kyle's like he's got a million other things to work on. We don't want to bother him with the NFL right now. So let's do some power rankings here, Ammer. NFL power rankings for the week. Let's look, let's go AFC first. Let's go AFC. Let's go AFC. Umer, give me your top five, give me your top five in the AFC, your power rankings for the week.
SPEAKER_01:I think you gotta go Colts number one. Colts are yeah, I hate it, but it's crazy. They're six and one, they're they're looking like a very, very complete football team, and you know, they're getting it done with Daniel Jones. I think Jonathan Taylor might win MVP this year because he is just on fire right now. And for them to get rid of Gus Bradley, bring in Lou Amoraro, and the way he is coaching that defense up, they're they're they're playing lights out right now. I think they would be the number one team in the AFC. I think um you've seen some kinks in the armor when it comes to the Chiefs and the Bills, and I feel like even with that being said, they do just find a way to turn it on in November, December. So I'll probably put them as two and three, right? And then I'm trying to think. Man, AFC, who else is out there that's like pretty good? I mean, Chargers are very hit or miss, right? They've they've gotten so many injuries. I don't know if they're gonna be able to sustain like they are. I'm trying to think. The Broncos squeaked one out against the Giants, which was crazy to me. They have they have a they have a first class defense. I mean, the Broncos at four? You can maybe throw the Broncos at four. That's reasonable. I can see the Broncos at four just because five and two on the year.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, it's reasonable.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I think the Broncos at four, and then who would be number five?
SPEAKER_02:Um, can we throw the Pats in there yet?
SPEAKER_01:Who is it? The Patriots? Yeah, honestly, five and five and two, top of the AFC East.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, they're looking pretty good.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, put the Patriots as five. Um, and then I think you know, with the way with the way in the AFC, in the AFC East, it's kind of hard because all those like the Ravens are one and five. They're not they don't look good. Cleveland is literally holding on with their defense, and then you got the Bengals who are slowly coming on strong, but still though, like they're they gotta sustain what they got going on. The Steelers just lost to the Bengals, yeah. So it'd be hard to pick a team out of that division, but yeah, I think I put the preachers five because the way Variable is coaching that team, Drake May is playing out of his mind, and he he has gained the best out of that team. I gotta give Fariable his props.
SPEAKER_02:Drake May is looking like he should have been either the one or two pick in that draft, and Jimmy Daniels should have been the other one. And so that draft the Bears are looking like silly ones, but that's right now. Maybe the Bears figure. Yeah, maybe, maybe it just kind of changes around. I like that. I'd go Colts one. I like that. Uh I'd go Colts. I'd be crazy. I'd throw Colts, Patriots, Broncos, Colts, Patriots, Broncos, and then it's the AFC. There's nothing really happening that's pretty. You'd go like Bills and Bills and Chiefs, maybe just throw it around. I mean, the AFC is kind of crazy, especially because like we're talking Colts or six and one. The top of the we did not see that one coming at all. The NFC also, I mean, you could the NFC is kind of crazy too. So let's look over that NFC picture. Yeah, you have Philly coming in five and two, they lead the east. You have the Packers at four and one, they lead the north. Tampa Bay is five and two, they lead the south, and then in the west, you have the 49ers up top, five and two. That division's got a lot of five and two teams with CR and Rams all five and two. So, what do you think? In the NFC, give me your top five, give me your power rankings, top five. This one.
SPEAKER_01:I know it's a homer take, and I know that it's it's uh it's definitely home runs based on the record that Willie probably isn't completely accurate because of the time. The Packers are one just because they are number one in the NFC right now. It's just the way it is. I don't make the rules, but it is what it is. Yep, the best record, that's what they are. And then I probably would then put, you know, I hate to say it, but more than likely I would probably put. I'd probably have to put the Niners as too, and I hate that. I just think so I'll put it this way power ranking wise, based on record, maybe the Niners, but all these teams that are leading these divisions right now, the Buccaneers are completely banged up. You know, they lost Mike Evans now for most of the year. So they're going to be really dependent on some rookie guys, right? Then you got the 49ers who are trying to figure out between Matt Jones and Brock Purdy. Their defense is completely decimated. They lost their top two stars. So they're just squeaking by, right? And then in our division, you got like, and then of course you can't forget like the Eagles would be number three to me because they are the defending Super Bowl champs. They're five-unto their leading division. They've had some blips on the radar, but for the most part, they're still playing pretty good football. If Jalen Carter, A, can stay healthy and B just stay out of trouble, they have a good shot there, right? Yep. Um and I think it's a toss-up between the Seahawks and the Rams because the Rams are still finding ways to get it done even when they don't have their marquee players there. And then the Seahawks look like a team possessed last night. And like I'm kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop for Darnold because Darnold's playing lights out right now, but we all seen Darnold. He always crumbles under pressure. It doesn't matter like how good his team is. He showed that last year, right? And so I'm really interested in see when the Seattle Seahawks do play the Rams because I want to see how they perform against them.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, I like that. I like that. I'd go I'd go over the same thing. I'd go Packers. I'd I'd probably go Packers, Lions, 49ers. I'd say Rams, and then Eagles are my last one because they are falling apart at the seams, and everything just seems to be crumbling at their feet. So I like that one there. So Auber, I gotta run here. Let the people know where to find you out there across social media.
SPEAKER_01:All right, you can find me at uh AMAR3455. You can find us at Coast Coast Packers on all social media platforms. Um, we're hoping to actually have a guest this week. Um, so we're gonna let me lock that in and then I think I'll tell Trick to uh share that hopefully tomorrow. And yeah, we're just uh to try and get back on track with that. But yeah, man, it's been it's a been it's always been a pleasure and an honor doing the show with you.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, it's a blast every single week. Make sure you guys are checking them out there across Twitter and everything like that, Coast to Coast Packers. Make sure you're checking out here for more Packer content later this week. So we'll be back here after the quick commercial break. We're gonna talk bucks with Kyle on the back side of the ad break. We'll be right back trades as we come back here on this Wednesday. And hey, this next segment, Kyle's stopping by. We have the Mellow Yellow Minute coming up here, the Trivia. We got that coming up. We have some bucks talking to. This next segment is brought to you by BH Concrete Lifting. Tired of tripping over some sunken driveways, patios, and sidewalks. We're getting close to winter right now. You know the snow shoveling season is right around the corner. You don't want to be shoveling snow and take a snow. You know, you got that snow pusher. You don't want to have that up against your gut. You're on your phone, maybe checking out the score of like one of your NBA teams or anything like that. And all of a sudden you hit that lip and boom, gut check, right? You don't want that. You don't want to feel that pain. You don't want to keel over in the driveway. You don't want that. It's just a mess that you can avoid by calling our friends at BH Concrete Lifting. Get them over there before winter is here, before they're kind of in that offseason right now where they can't do anything for you. Call them up for the price of new concrete. Give them a try first. And if you give them a call, 715-897-6790 today, you get a complimentary estimate. What could be better? What could be better? You just get a complimentary estimate for just giving them a call and letting them just come out and check out your place. That's what you got to do. Trust our friends down there at BH Concrete Lifting. So, Kyle is here tonight. Kyle, the World Series. We got the matchup now. Blue Jays, Dodgers. Not exactly what we were hoping for, but we got that. So, I mean, we got that going on. NBA's back, NFL's in full swing. Kyle, how are we doing? It's Wednesday. We're excited that you're back here. How are we doing?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, uh, I'm good. I mean, look, MLB is coming to an end. That just means the hot stove will pick up, which as a Red Sox fan, I'm excited for that this offseason. NFL's underway, NBA's back. I'm I'm excited.
SPEAKER_02:How excited are you that it's like a$605 million World Series? How excited are you for that? Because it's just crazy, isn't it? Just crazy. Yeah. Let me ask you one thing because I kind of I alluded to it earlier on in the show, talking about the Brewers and the way it wrapped up. But let me ask you one thing. The Dave Roberts comment of saying, and it, I don't know, like I Grant Bill's a Wisconsin sports guy. He said he sounded like John Cena trying to pump up the crowd. But he's like, you know, oh, they're so mad at us for ruining baseball. Let's ruin it with four more here. And it's like, Dave, that's not helping. You're you're actually you don't even understand what Dave Roberts, the thing that irritates me the most with Dave Roberts, and I want to hear your thoughts on his comments there because it's not like it's a big deal, but it kind of irritates. My biggest problem with Dave Roberts is Dave Roberts doesn't actually have to manage the game of baseball. Like he just throws out a uh a roster with his leading guy deferring all of his money towards the end of his contract. He just throws out this mega roster with a pitching staff that includes four aces that the Brewers just had to face in a row, which sucked. I know we talked about that earlier, so I don't get into all that. But Dave Roberts irritates me the most because he doesn't, he's the one manager who doesn't have to do anything and just win baseball games. Most of his guys can chill in Arizona and then come back in the postseason and just play the game. And it's like, oh well, where did Tyler Glass now come from? I forgot that he was pitching for the Dodgers. It's it irritates me, I guess. So, Kyle, I mean, just kind of your thoughts on Glass, or not Glass, but Dave Roberts, the comments, just this baseball in general, the way that it seems to be trending right now is you gotta be able to spend the big bucks to get there.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, um I mean, I guess in terms of the of the Dodgers, it's like nobody outside of LA likes your team because of kind of the advantages that it's seen that you're taking of the salary cap. Well, not salary cap, but of like the economics of baseball. So if he's gonna lean into it and kind of play up to it, I I actually don't have a problem with that. Because my thing is if you're an athlete, a coach, or whatever, and you know the perception of your team, if you try to come out and act like, oh, why do you hate us? We're not bad. You know why. Nobody likes the way that you're operating, they don't like the whole deferred money stuff, they don't like the fact that we're back in like the Steinbrenner Yankees era where you can like buy World Series rosters and I mean you look, you still have to go out there and win. Yeah, because the Yankees have been doing it for a while, and it's been a while since they won one. So at least the Dodgers are doing whatever the Yankees can't. So I I don't have a problem with it. It's just if he gets confronted with kind of like the villain role, he can't then try to walk it back. Like this is the road you're going down, embrace the villain role.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah. No, it just it it irritates me because it I shouldn't why can you defer money to a back of a contract like that? Why why is that even a possibility? Because now you have Show Tan is making two mil a year, so now you're able to go sign everybody else in the world. You got all these big markets with the TV and everything like that, because you got the Japanese markets and everything like that. It just it leads to the Dodgers making more money, which I understand it's an economic thing. They do great, like they're making money, that's what matters to them, everything like that. And I, you know, the brewers, do they have more money they could spend? Yeah, probably. Yes. Yes. I won't say that they don't. I don't say that there's a lot of teams that don't have, but the brewers aren't gonna be if you don't have a cap, the brewers still will not be able to spend the money that the Dodgers spent. The you know, teams like the Brewers, teams like oh, I'm trying to think of some other small market teams out there right now. I mean, you're gonna have the White Sox aren't gonna be able to spend money like that. You could go down a laundry list of teams where they're not gonna be able to spend the money that the Yankees and Dodgers can, even if their owners bucked up and paid all this money. It's still not gonna add up to the same amount. So I don't know. It just it irritates me that whole Dave Roberts thing, the whole comment. And it's probably because it was like, you know, the stress of just you know losing four games to him, everything like that. But anyway, so that's over with Kyle. Let's get into it. Let's get to the Mellow Yellow Minute before we get to the Bucks here. As we always do, the Mellow Yellow Minute, our little trivia segment in honor of my grandpa there. He loved trivia, he loved Mellow Yellow. We put the good the two together there. That's what we love to do. So I can't remember what last week was, but this week we're gonna do top five America's favorite holidays in order. Top five. So this is so I'm gonna give Kyle, I'm gonna give everybody. And if you guys have the answers, I want you to text them to me. 715-990-4914. That is 715-990-4914. If you get it before Kyle gets it, you get a t-shirt. There you go. You get a free t-shirt.
SPEAKER_03:There you go.
SPEAKER_02:That's all you need to know. You get a free prize there. So, Kyle, here's the list. We have Easter, we have Thanksgiving, Halloween, Mother's Day, and Christmas. I need you to put them in order one through five, five through one. What's the order, Kyle? Where do you want to start? Five or one? Where do you want to start?
SPEAKER_00:I'll start at five. I'm kind of locked in on two of them. So I'm gonna go. Give me Easter at five.
SPEAKER_02:Not Easter, not Easter. Okay, close. Just close.
SPEAKER_00:I'm fine with that. So five? Halloween.
SPEAKER_02:Not Halloween either. Those two I thought would have maybe been down. Not not either one of those.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I kind of felt like the past few years, Halloween's kind of falling off. Okay. So it's not Easter, it's not Halloween. So I have Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, and Christmas. Is it Mother's Day?
SPEAKER_02:Mother's Day is number five on our list. I know. I know. Those mothers out there. I'm sorry.
unknown:That is.
SPEAKER_02:We love you here on the show. We love you here.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Okay, so Mother's Day is five. I'm gonna go Halloween four.
SPEAKER_02:Not Halloween four. It is Easter four. It is Easter four. So I'm guessing Halloween's gonna Halloween is number three, 15%. Nine percent put it as their least favorite day of the year. It has both. It has the favorite day of the year and least favorite day of the year.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. Um I'm gonna go Thanksgiving too. Thanksgiving is number two. And Christmas one.
SPEAKER_02:Five percent of people say that Christmas is their least favorite day of the year. I feel bad for those five percent. I you need to listen to the show here on Christmas. Listen to the show here, we'll make you feel better. That's that's all you need to know. Five percent of people say that it's the worst day of the year. That's sad. That's sad. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm very sorry, very sorry for you. We'll we'll get you something. You hit me up, hit me up, we'll make you feel better here on the show. So, anyways, there you go. There's our trivia hour there. We got Mother's Day at five, Easter at four, Halloween at three, Thanksgiving at two, and Christmas number one, America's favorite holidays. So there you go. There you go. Interesting little list there. So, Kyle, let's dive into the bucks. The bucks open up tonight here. We're getting close. Seven o'clock is tip time tonight. We're getting close to that one. Kyle Bucks, I want to hear your thoughts on Giannis's brothers because it seems like I don't know what other brothers he has, but it seems like we're gonna have all of them at some point here. We're gonna have a starting five of the Giannis brothers at some point here in Milwaukee. So I just want to hear kind of your thoughts on why, if it's needed, should it be needed to keep a star happy at this point? Like, give me your thoughts on the Giannis brothers getting all of them basically losing guys. They gave this deal to Chris Livingston, and he just got see you later, dude. Like, we need to add on Alex Anatekupo. Like, okay, uh great. And then Thanastas has been out of the league for a little bit, and now it's like, oh yeah, come back. What do you what are your thoughts on it?
SPEAKER_00:So I think first off, I believe there is a fourth brother named Costus attentakuum. I'm not exactly sure where he is, but I do believe there's a fourth brother. Now, in terms of bringing in the two brothers, look, the NASA has been there uh before, so that's whatever. It's once again kind of the um environment that the NBA is in that small market cities feel like they have to do stuff like this to keep star players because of the outside pressure for them to move to the bigger markets because everybody's under the impression that you can't make money, you can't be a superstar unless you play in New York or LA. I think what Giannis and other stars have shown before Giannis is a superstar in Milwaukee. So now the team at this point has to stay competitive, has to create an environment where Giannis feels welcome and happy because Giannis at some point could turn around and hold it over them and be like, hey, yeah, I'm you know, Alex is out there. I feel like he should come in, and if the team were to say no, they'd probably be afraid, like, oh, is that what would send him out the door? So I think it's unfortunate that other players lose their spot because of the Nassis and Alex, who are two guys that you probably won't see unless it's a blowout. So it's unfortunate, but it's it's kind of what Milwaukee needs to do because that outside noise is just gonna get louder and louder.
SPEAKER_02:And it's every it seems like it is. It seems like it's already getting loud as we're speaking right now. So hopefully, hopefully that's our Shams. I'm gonna hate to say if Shams was right the whole time. I'm gonna really hate to say if he was right the whole time. So that's gonna that's gonna be something there. So yeah, I I completely agree. It in the current landscape that is the NBA, it's what you have to do, it just stinks, like you said, because other guys have to lose their roster spot just to bring those guys in. So yeah, that's that's the rough world that we live in in the NBA nowadays. So Bucks open up tonight, wizards on the docket here. Let's look into this roster a little bit that we're gonna see tonight here for the Bucs. So we expect the starters for this Bucks team to be Kevin Porter, Gary Trent Jr. You're gonna see Kyle Kuzma, Giannis, and then Miles Turner. That five right there, I'm gonna be honest with you, Kyle. I mean, it doesn't look when you look at it, it's not like, oh, I'm looking at the uh I'm watching the Rockets and the Thunder. I'm not watching two starting lineups like that with a lot of star power at the moment. But there's a lot of guys, there's a lot of pieces in there, right? Miles Turner, a fantastic big, able to stretch the floor for you. Giannis, the superstar that we know. If Kyle Kuzma can be like uh a really tall, lanky Pat Connington, get after the ball, not do a lot, just be a hard-nosed basketball player, but good play good defense. Maybe that's fine's his game. Gary Trent, we know can shoot. And if Kevin Porter Jr. continues to advance like he did last season, this could be a pretty darn good starting lineup. Not a not a superstar-filled starting lineup, but a solid starting lineup. What are your thoughts on the starting lineup that we see right now for this Milwaukee Bucks team?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I think starting lineup wise, the potential is there. Obviously, Kuzma and to a certain extent, Tori and Prince because just because of the way Doc kind of operates, you feel like those two might be interchangeable starting at the three, and that might be the X factor to the team. Can Kuzma play up to kind of the potential he showed with the Lakers? And can Prince be the three and D guy that he's supposed to be? Where unfortunately last season it was like you'd get one game where you saw it, and then you'd get like a week where he can't buy a bucket and he's getting into foul trouble. So if they can find some type of consistency between those two, I think the starting lineup looks a lot better. So it's not a starting lineup that you look at and go, oh, they're probably gonna win the East, they're gonna be a one seed. No, but it's also not a starting lineup that you look at and go, I don't know how this team makes the playoffs, or they're gonna struggle to be a play-in team. I think they're somewhere in the middle. And once again, like I said, if Kuzma can elevate his game, then that just would help the Bucks move a little bit higher up in the standings at the end of the season. Because I I think what last year he shot like 35% around the rim. That's a number that has to come up.
SPEAKER_02:That was bad, and that's what I was saying. Like, if you could get a Kyle Kuzma to just be a serviceable defender, get after it, very physical kind of guy. That that could just be what you need on this roster, especially having Miles Turner come in. He's gonna give you some scoring. You're gonna have Giannis. If you let uh Kevin Porter just run wild on him, I mean you could have a lot of scoring in this lineup without Kyle Kuzma having to do anything, which I think if he can just fill that role, then you like where he's at. If he's uh eight points a game but plays good defense, rebounds the basketball, does the little things, you live with that. And you're gonna have guys behind him, like you said, and maybe there's possibilities. So this was gonna be a question, too. I had could you see the Bucs maybe trying to roll because we've seen the Warriors do it for how many years now, trying to go with the small ball lineup? Could you see a team like the Bucks maybe say, AJ Green, I love what you bring me. You're a great shooter. I'd love to have you out there with Gary Trent because he's a great shooter too. And if we have a guy like Kevin Porter on the court at the same time to facilitate you two the basketball, maybe you go with a smaller lineup with a guy like AJ Green coming in, Kuzma going out, and then maybe you can roll a lineup like that. Could you see something like that working out with the Bucs? Because there are a lot of teams that they don't really rely on having that much height, like you don't need that many bigs on the court at the same time. You can get away with having some small ball playing fast because that's the way the kind of the league's going. What are your thoughts on that kind of scenario working out for the Bucs?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I mean, I feel like for Doc, everything needs to be on the table. And certain nights, you don't necessarily have to run small ball, obviously, you know, for 48 minutes or whatever. If and Justin Spurts, just to change it up on teens, if you do that, I don't see why not. Like it just makes too much sense, you know. Uh Miles Turner obviously is a five, but even he's like a small ball five because he likes to play on the perimeter, which obviously he has to be an upgraded version of Brooke Lopez. They're similar in what their role is gonna be. He's younger, he's more athletic, so he has to be better. So, yeah, I feel like if they go to the bench, maybe you throw a bench lineup where, like you said, you sub in an AJ Green and you say, Giannis, play five for a few minutes until you know Turner or Sims then comes in and you go back to more traditional lineup. Yeah, I think it makes way too much sense not to do that.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, I like it. And you know, this season I think it's gonna help out Doc a lot, not having to the Damian Lillard stuff going on, and then even before that, you have the Chris Middleton stuff going on with the Damian Lillard stuff. Now just having a lineup where it's more serviceable, a lot of depth pieces, not a lot of stars, not a lot of stars to have to deal with, just basketball, just getting back to the basics. I think that could help Doc Rivers out, too, you know, with making decisions in there along the way. So I kind of like that. The depth pieces we're talking about. You have Cole Anthony, you have Ryan Rollins. I think the point guard spot's really deep for the Bucks because I think Ryan Rollins' got a ton of potential, and he's sitting there in that third spot. And then you look at the shooting guard spot, like we talked about before. You have Gary Trent, then you have AJ Green, and then Gary Harris, who Gary Harris isn't anything shiny, he's not the shiny toy, but he's a serviceable guy, like we're mentioning with a lot of this roster here. And then you have guys like we're talking about Jericho Sims, you got Bobby Portis yet on the bench. I mean, there's a lot of, I don't know if you would say like it's not superstar depth, right? But it's good depth. You have a lot of pieces where I don't know if you're gonna skip too many beats going to the bench. Is that kind of what you see with this team on paper? Well, from what we're seeing right now.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I mean, it's it's a lineup that should be able to play multiple ways. Because look, there's gonna be some lineups where you know Portis goes in at the five, he kind of represents a small ball five as well. And you know, you play one way with him, you play one way when Giannis is at the five. Maybe you play a little bit faster when Giannis is is at the five, and you bring in that smaller lineup with him. If you want to go crazy big, like you could probably run like uh Turner, Portis. You could probably run like Giannis at the three some nights and go bigger against certain teams. So I think Doc Rivers if he embraces it, he has a lineup that could be versatile as long as he uses the guys correctly. Yeah, that guard depth is is something that he should tap into, and it's gonna be needed. Like they they can't just play the same way, one way that we've seen the past couple of years, because we've seen that they've kind of slowly regressed a little bit. It's time to kind of freshen it up and and try a new approach.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, gets them back to more physical play. I think that's gonna be a big thing, and I think that's what this lineup may get back to is playing more physical, getting after it, trying to play those, because they're not gonna be this high-scoring Octane offense. They're gonna have to win games 110 to 109, 110 to 105, whatever, you know. So it's gonna be a little bit low. That sounds like a high-scoring game, but it's low in today's NBA, it seems like. So trying to win games like that on some nights is something that the Bucs are definitely gonna have to look for. So, any like, give me your early thoughts on the NBA season right now. I mean, is there any give me some bold predictions before I have to let you go here? Give me some bold predictions you have for this upcoming NBA season.
SPEAKER_00:So, one bold prediction. I believe the Atlanta Hawks will win 50 games this year. Oh, like it's not crazy bold, because I believe their over-under is like 47 and a half, but I think they're a 50-win team as long as Jalen Johnson, Porzinga stay healthy. That's obviously a big if. I think Derek White will make his first all-star team this year. And uh the Clippers out West might be in trouble when it comes to the playoffs. They're they're one of the oldest. I think they might be the oldest team, if not the second oldest team in the league. I just wonder about the 82 game schedule, whether or not they can have all of them be healthy for enough games for them to be a playoff team. If they get in, though, they'll probably be a tough out once they make the playoffs. They're they're a weird team to kind of forecast, but that's what I think uh will happen with the Clippers.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, I like it. I like the bold takes from Kyle there. I love the bold predictions here. NBA just tipping off here. We saw the first games tip off last night. We got the Bucks coming up here in mere moments as we're getting to the end of the show here. So seven o'clock hour, we're gonna see the Bucks tipping off against the Wizards.
